DATA SHEET
VirtualMatrix
THE SYMMETRIX VMAX 20K ENGINE
The Symmetrix VMAX 20K system architecture provides a Virtual Matrix™ that can scale
beyond the confines of a single system footprint. The core element of the Virtual Matrix is
the Symmetrix VMAX 20K Engine, the highest-performing Engine of the VMAX family. VMAX
20K Engines include up to 128 GB of cache memory per engine (for a maximum of 1,024 GB
per array), front-end connectivity, and backend connectivity. The Virtual Matrix scales by
aggregating up to eight VMAX 20K Engines as a single system with fully shared connectivity,
processing, and capacity resources. Each Engine can support up to 16 CPU cores for a high-
performance maximum of 128 cores. The Symmetrix VMAX 20K system also leverages the PCIe
I/O bus to maximize bandwidth performance.
SYMMETRIX VMAX 20K SYSTEM CONFIGURATIONS Symmetrix VMAX 20K systems with the scale-out Virtual Matrix Architecture can be configured
with 48 to 2,400 drives for a maximum usable capacity of up to two PB. Each system
provides up to 1 TB of memory and up to 128 FC ports, or 64 iSCSI ports, or 64 FCoE ports,
or 64 FICON ports.
The Symmetrix VMAX 20K is a distributed multi-engine storage system that can non-
disruptively scale from one to eight VMAX 20K Engines. Systems are configured around a
central system bay and up to 10 adjacent storage bays integrating up to 240 3.5-inch
drives or high-efficiency 2.5-inch drives for space or power-constrained data centers. Each
drive array enclosure ( DA E ) can support up to 15 3.5-inch drives.
The VMAX 20K series offers a full range of drive options—from ultra-fast Enterprise Flash drives
to the high capacity 3 TB drives. Choose Enterprise Flash drives, for example, to support the
most demanding workloads in smaller footprints and with less energy. Tiered storage helps
you optimize system performance while reducing cost. Symmetrix VMAX 20K arrays support
the latest front-end 8 Gb/s FC, 8 Gb/s FICON, and 10 Gb/s Ethernet for FCoE, iSCSI, and EMC
Symmetrix Remote Data Facility (SRDF®) connectivity.
The EMC VFCache server Flash caching solution provides additional performance benefits by
reducing latency and increasing throughput. The solution combines intelligent caching
software with PCIe Flash technology to dramatically improve application performance. VFCache
accelerates reads and protects data by using a write-through cache to the networked
storage to deliver persistent high availability, integrity, and disaster recovery. VFCache,
coupled with array-based EMC FAST software, creates the most efficient and intelligent I/O
path from the application to the data store. The result is a networked infrastructure that
is dynamically optimized for performance, intelligence, and protection for both physical and
virtual environments.
UNMATCHED AVAILABILITY AND BUILT-IN INFORMATION
CENTRIC SECURITY A revolutionary architecture and blazing performance are meaningless without
uninterrupted information availability. Symmetrix VMAX 20K systems come standard with non-
disruptive everything. EMC’s philosophy has always been to anticipate whatever might
disrupt information access and prevent it. Symmetrix VMAX 20K systems take this philosophy
to an even higher level, enabling 24x7xForever application availability and the ability to
eliminate both unplanned and planned outages with fully non-disruptive operations and
extended-distance replication with zero data loss.
Symmetrix VMAX 20K includes 100% internal redundancy to ensure that no single fault can
stop the flow of data. Multiple redundant power supplies connected to independent power
sources provide additional protection. Battery backup of all power systems ensures that all
data in memory is safely written to the drive before the Symmetrix array initiates an
orderly shutdown in the event of complete power loss. Additional reliability features include
permanent spares, compensative cooling, and extensive environmental monitoring.
The Enginuity operating environment offers unmatched availability and reliability. Non-
disruptive operations and upgrades ensure no storage or application downtime. Non-
disruptive upgrades of EMC software applications, non-disruptive storage configuration
changes, and non-disruptive serviceability ensure that access to vital information is
maintained and service levels are never compromised.
Enginuity also features continuous monitoring to ensure data integrity, as well as intelligent
cache optimization and autonomous tuning of drive-read patterns to optimize application
performance. Enginuity enables simultaneous connection to all mainframe, IBM i, UNIX,
Microsoft® Windows®, and Linux platforms—the most extensive connectivity choices in the
industry, and all validated in EMC’s interoperability labs. The result: you can do whatever you
want with your information, at any time, and with fewer staff, greater speed, and efficiency.
Securing sensitive information is one of the greatest challenges facing companies today, and
the most important data security threats relate to the protection of the storage environment.
EMC Enginuity provides the highest level of data integrity with integrated technology from RSA®,
the security division of EMC, to deliver built-in security capabilities that make it easier to
reduce risks to sensitive data and improve compliance efforts. The Symmetrix Service
Credential, secured by RSA, prevents unauthorized service actions on the service processor.
Integration with RSA enVision® provides automated, policy-based audit log management
across the enterprise.
DATA AT REST ENCRYPTION (FIPS 140-2 CERTIFIED)
Symmetrix Data at Rest Encryption (D@RE) provides hardware-based, on-array encryption for
Symmetrix VMAX 20K systems, protecting information from unauthorized access when drives are
removed from the array or the array is removed from the data center. This technology
eliminates the need for disk erasure services and allows for rapid decommissioning and
repurposing of arrays, while helping achieve compliance with security and privacy
standards. Symmetrix encryption offers intelligent key management that is easy for storage
administrators to implement and maintain. Administrators can choose either automatic
internal key management or integration with an RSA RKM/DPM key manager.
EMC is the first array vendor to build FIPS 140-2 certified Data at Rest Encryption for all drive
types, with full support for auto-tiering. Symmetrix encryption is compatible with all EMC VMAX
20K features, providing encryption without performance degradation to existing applications.

integrated Vblock 700 solution, visit www.vce.com, or contact your EMC or VCE sales representative.
Symmetrix VMAX 20K: A Scalable High-End Storage Array—Symmetrix VMAX 20K
systems can be configured with 48 to 2,400 drives for a maximum capacity of up to two
petabytes. The multi- engine storage system can non-disruptively scale from one to
eight VMAX Engines. Systems are configured around a central system bay and adjacent
storage bays of up to 240 drives each.
FAST VP Symmetrix VMAX 20K systems offer a broad array of functionality and tools that simplify
storage management and reduce costs to help accelerate the transformation to the hybrid
cloud.
EMC FAST VP software optimizes performance in multi-tiered Symmetrix VMAX 20K ar rays by
allocating and relocating application workloads based on service-level agreements. With
granular tiering at the sub-LUN level, FAST VP can help optimize $ per IO and $ per GB. FAST VP
reduces overall TCO by lowering acquisition costs, simplifying management, and reducing
energy and space requirements. Highly responsive to dynamic-performance environments,
FAST VP can help IT more quickly adapt to changing business needs and manage more
resources with fewer staff. FAST VP intelligence can be leveraged across the entire data center
including open systems, IBM i, and System z environments
FAST VP extends its innovation with support for compression. FAST VP compression
enables customers to optimize $/GB by compressing cold data in any tier associated with a FAST VP policy. FAST VP now operates on four tiers, which reduces overall TCO by lowering acquisition costs. FTS is used as one of the four tiers of FAST VP, enabling you to protect your storage investments by optimizing resources based on changing business needs.
FEDERATED TIERED STORAGE
FTS enables the hybrid cloud by creating cooperating pools of resources and by enabling
dynamic application and data movement—key functionality for delivering Infrastructure as a
Service (IaaS). FTS technology allows you to leverage the benefits of EMC’s trusted innovations
across the entire hybrid cloud by consolidating, optimizing, and sharing both EMC and non-EMC
storage resources. Using FTS, you can integrate legacy arrays to maximize efficiency, protect
your storage investment, and simplify the management of your storage landscape.
Federated Tiered Storage provides the capability to put heterogeneous arrays behind VMAX
20K to consolidate and simplify operations in the hybrid cloud. With FTS, customers can use
trusted Symmetrix features such as FAST VP, SRDF, EMC TimeFinder®, and VLUN to extend the life
and value of existing storage arrays in the data center.
In a FAST VP configuration, the external array can be used as a lower tier, and FAST will
automatically move data to VMAX 20K as additional performance is required from the
application.
HOST I/O LIMITS VMAX Host I/O Limits enables users to set maximum performance quotas for IOPS and/or
throughput on a per-Storage Group basis. This ensures that each application has does not
impact other applications’ performance. Host I/O Limits enables:
• Users to manage their applications efficiently and predictably
• Users to provide greater levels of control on performance allocation in multi-tenant
environments
• Service Providers to articulate service level characteristics, manage expectations, and sell
new services
• Users to simplify their quality of service management by presenting controls in industry-
standard terms of IOPS and throughput and set their IOPS or throughput based on application
characteristics and business needs
The storage group performance quota is evenly split between all directors in the storage
group’s masking view. All volumes in a storage group share its performance quota. The VMAX
monitors and manages I/O on each director in the masking view to ensure that the
performance is not exceeded. When the limits are reached, VMAX will slow I/O to discourage
additional transactions from that storage group. Bursts of I/O are tolerated if the storage
group is below its quota.
MICROSOFT WINDOWS SERVER 2012 SUPPORT VMAX is ideal for customers that need to eliminate silos of information through application
consolidation. Its multiple redundant controller architecture provides the ability to host
multiple Microsoft applications (such as Exchange, SQL Server, SharePoint) simultaneously. It
is also ideal for customers that have Windows-based application in the virtualized mission-
critical application space. While FAST VP provides benefits for physical applications, it also
provides benefits in a virtual server environment, as virtual machine files are subject to
support varying application workloads.
VMAX 20K supports windows Server 2012 configurations including a 63-node Microsoft Cluster
Server environment as well as supporting up to 4,000 virtual machines in a single cluster.
VFCache INTEGRATION VMAX 20K can provide a centralized location for all VFCache meta data information and
customers using Unisphere for VMAX can view and report LUNs under VFCache control.
MANAGEMENT ABSTRACTION TO INTELLIGENTLY
INTEGRATE INTO VIRTUAL ENVIRONMENTS
EMC Unisphere for VMAX is an intuitive management interface that allows IT managers to
maximize human resources by dramatically reducing the time required to provision, manage,
and monitor Symmetrix storage assets. Unisphere delivers the simplification, flexibility, and
automation that are key requirements to accelerate the transformation to the hybrid cloud.
Unisphere for VMAX V1.5 builds on top of the initially delivered functionality for the VMAX
Family and adds support for the configuration, management and monitoring of older DMX®
arrays as well as all new features in the latest Enginuity release. For customers who frequently
build up and tear down storage configurations, Unisphere for VMAX V1.5 makes reconfiguring
the array even easier by reducing the number of steps required to delete and repurpose
volumes.
— EMC ProSphere™ provides end-to-end management and analysis of hybrid cloud
environments, including compute, network, and storage resources.
— EMC z/OS Storage Manager (EzSM) is a mainframe software product for discovery and
viewing of a Symmetrix environment connected to a z/OS host. EzSM provides facilities to
handle volumes, data sets, catalogs, and detailed Symmetrix VMAX 20K system functionality
information.
— VMware® vStorage APIs for Array Integration (VAAI) offload virtual machine (VM)
operations to the array to optimize server performance. VAAI enables VMware vSphere™ to
free up server resources by offloading certain operations. In VMware environments, VMAX 20K
supports the following VAAI components:
• Full Copy—Offloads replication to VMAX 20K to enable up to 10 times faster virtual machine
deployments, clones, snapshots, and VMware Storage vMotion® operations
• Block Zero—Initializes file system block and virtual disk space more rapidly, with as much
as 10 times less I/O for VMFS (Virtual Machine File System) formatting and relocation.
• Hardware-Assisted Locking—Enables more efficient meta data updates and assists virtual
desktop deployments, allowing up to 10 times more virtual machines per data store.
• UNMAP-Enables more efficient space usage for virtual machines by reclaiming space on
datastores that is unused and returns it to the thin provisioning pool from which it was
originally drawn. UNMAP is only supported with vSphere 5.0U1 and higher.
• VMware vSphere Storage APIs for Storage Awareness (VASA)—Allows VMware
administrators to view VMAX 20K drive types (Flash, FC, SAS, or SATA) as needed; with VASA,
VMware administrators have a single management view into both the virtualization and
storage infrastructures
VIRTUAL PROVISIONING Symmetrix Virtual Provisioning helps reduce cost, improve capacity utilization, and simplify
storage management. Users can present a large amount of capacity to a host and then
consume space only as needed from a shared pool. This improves TCO by reducing initial over-
allocation of storage capacity. Virtual Provisioning also offers automated pool rebalancing,
helping expand thin pools in small increments while protecting performance, as well as non-
disruptive shrinking of thin pools to help reuse space to improve capacity utilization. Virtual
Provisioning can help reduce labor costs by simplifying data layout and reducing the steps
required to accommodate capacity growth.
Users have mobility and space efficiency when moving into and out of thin pools, and with
TimeFinder/Clone, thick-to-thin replication that ensures only host-written space is copied to
target thin volumes. In addition, users can automatically reclaim unused space when
replicating among standard and thin volumes using EMC SRDF or migrating from standard to
thin volumes using EMC Open Replicator.
LOCAL REPLICATION: THE TIMEFINDER FAMILY
The EMC TimeFinder family of software provides a local copy of data, independent of the host
and operating system, application, and database. The EMC Symmetrix TimeFinder family of
local copy software is the most field-proven, widely deployed, array-based, point-in-time
solution in the world with tens of thousands of licenses shipped into the most-demanding IT
environments. TimeFinder offers the most choice and flexibility to meet virtually any service-
level requirement, while enabling cost control or reduction for increased competitive
advantage.
EMC TIMEFINDER BASE PRODUCTS

TCO by lowering acquisition costs for storage used from the target devices storage pool.
Customers that use TimeFinder VP Snap for test, development or reporting purposes will see
more flexibility in their use of TimeFinder VP Snap. Customers that are migrating from
TimeFinder Snap to TimeFinder VP Snap and want to retain protection of their source volumes
will see transition improvements.
EMC TIMEFINDER ADD-ON OPTIONS
• TimeFinder/Consistency Groups—At no additional cost, the Consistency Groups option
ensures dependent-write consistency of application data when creating a point-in-time image
across multiple devices associated with an application within a single Symmetrix system or
applications that also span multiple Symmetrix systems.
REMOTE REPLICATION: SRDF
For replication between Symmetrix systems, the EMC SRDF family of software provides remote
mirroring independent of the allocation type (thick or thin), host and operating system,
application, and database. SRDF remote mirroring helps companies manage planned and
unplanned outages. With 24x7x365 data availability, businesses can focus on maximizing
revenue generation and customer support opportunities, improving productivity, and
controlling or reducing costs for increased competitive advantage.
EMC SRDF BASE PRODUCTS

application dependent-write consistency of the application data being remotely mirrored by
SRDF in the event of a rolling disaster—across multiple Symmetrix systems or across multiple
devices within a Symmetrix—providing a business point of consistency for remote site disaster
restart for all identified applications associated with a business function.
RECOVERPOINT REPLICATION FAMILY
The Symmetrix VMAX 20K system also supports the EMC RecoverPoint solution for local
replication using continuous data protection (CDP), synchronous and asynchronous continuous
remote replication (CRR), and concurrent local and remote (CLR) data protection, all with
point-in-time DVR-like recovery capabilities. The VMAX 20K system has integrated
RecoverPoint Splitter functionality.
The RecoverPoint family helps protect companies from data loss due to common problems
such as server failures, data corruption, software errors, viruses, and end-user errors, while
also protecting against catastrophic events that can bring an entire data center to a standstill.
RecoverPoint enables replication among EMC storage families, as well as between EMC and
non-EMC arrays. Leveraging RecoverPoint across EMC block platforms—VMAX 10K, VMAX 20K,
VMAX 20K, DMX, VNX®, and VPLEX®—can help reduce wide-area network (WAN) costs,
regardless of the distance between private and public clouds.
